What a great film!
Honored to have contributed to this magnificent blu-ray of Terence Davies' deeply felt and intelligent adaptation of Edith Wharton's 'The House of Mirth' from @BFI
@RonCarterBass A sad, yet triumphant, day for music. Mr. De Johnette may be gone but his incredible legacy is eternal.
He is back with the universe now.
Thank You.
@bluenoterecords A truly awesome trumpeter and musician - possibly more influential than Dizzy Gillespie, as we hear in Clifford Brown and his followers including Freddie Hubbard.
A genius, probably.
Happy Birthday to the Saxophone Colossus #SonnyRollins who is 95 years old today! After his 1st Blue Note appearance with Bud Powell in 1949, Sonny returned to make his label debut as a leader in 1956 with βVolume 1β: https://t.co/IUeCqetgTe
An incredible album from Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, @RonCarterBass, @herbiehancock, Bobby Hutcherson and Billy Higgins @bluenoterecords
Morgan and Shorter a unique duo, here very much post Messengers, like firecrackers and lava, witchcraft and iron.
David Stratton was a great and important film critic and author in Australia for many decades who showed those of us with a passion for cinema what great cinema was and could be.
My gratitude and respect for his legacy cannot be expressed in words here.
Thank You David

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Alfred Brendel (1931β2025), a quiet colossus and supreme interpreter from Beethoven to Schoenberg. His extraordinary legacy will endure through his recordings, words and influence. Our thoughts are with Maria and the family.
@RonCarterBass Dolphy and Waldron a remarkable and quicksilver pairing.
Could Duvivier be an unsung hero of the bass?
Charlie Persip undoubtedly a great drummer.
Quite a debut as leader then Mr. Carter!
Where? is Here! Where? is Now!
Al Foster was a magnificent drummer and musician who seemed to always be smiling, always be lifting the music with great energy, ears and heart.
We'll miss him but of course his music remains, especially this one (below) amongst so many.

Blistering performances all round in Harold Pinter's 'The Caretaker', directed by Clive Donner (1963) and with a showstopping turn from Donald Pleasence.
